Great article about WHY Circus should be part of all schools PE classes... and my favorite quote...
"...children taking circus said they felt more confident, more talented, and more eager to participate in PE. Their competence in 15 of the 18 key movement skills tested was “substantially” better than the control group. And, crucially, girls in the circus group were more likely to associate physical activity with happiness."
